What happens when an enterprise boardroom is still running on technology from 2015? Meetings are broken, rooms filled with tangled HDMI cables, with participants indulging in the ‘where is the adapter’ dance. However, the era of blank screens, frozen images, and garbled videos is now over with the arrival of CX-50 Gen2 from Barco. Databytes Consulting Tech, with more than a decade of experience in rendering IT solutions, has been helping enterprises tackle this problem. We have seen it all and have helped deploy Barco’s ecosystem across India for years, including the CX-50 Gen2, and have learned why it is being adopted across meeting rooms.

CX-50 Gen2: The Wireless Conferencing Upgrade Your Boardroom Has Been Waiting For

For the unversed, the CX-50 Gen2 is an exceptional wireless conferencing system designed for high-impact meeting spaces and boardrooms. The device connects to cameras, microphones, speakers, and panels. The device effectively negates the need for pairing, passwords, or IT heroics. A manager can initiate a video meeting from his laptop in a jiffy using Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, or whatever platform his client in Mumbai prefers.

Consider older times when a 30-minute business AV interaction required an hour of preparation. With CX-50 Gen2, the setup time has been slashed to almost zero. This means a lot to a startup founder in Bengaluru connecting to a VC in Pune or an industrial enterprise in Coimbatore or Chennai running daily production reviews across three shifts.

Dual-Screen 4K, BYOM, and Auto-Switch: The CX-50 Gen2 Feature Set That Actually Matters

The initial iteration of CX-50 Gen2 was good, but the Gen 2 upgrade makes the device even better. The CX-50 Gen2 is a different proposition and features –

• First, dual-screen support
• Ability to display remote participants on one screen and the presentation on the other screen simultaneously
• Sharp, clean, and professional visuals in 4K UHD (3840×2160) at 60Hz1011
• Auto-switch between UC mode and BYOM mode

The device enables the manager in the Microsoft Teams Room to control his laptop as he moves around. He can get access to the camera, microphone, and speakers at the touch of a button. There is no tiresome process of reconfiguration or logging into a room system. Just plugin and, press a button, and start.

Sharing of 4K content via HDMI and USB-C15 have both advantages and disadvantages in different situations. Wireless is fine, but in some situations you will need the reliability of a wired connection, especially high-stakes boardrooms in Hyderabad’s Financial District or Pune’s Hinjewadi IT Park. The CX-50 Gen2 has both, with a single USB-C cable between the base unit and display that powers the device and sends video output simultaneously.

The device is also compatible across a wide range of platforms, including AirPlay, Google Cast, and Miracast. It also works equally well with Windows 10 and higher, macOS 11 and higher, Android 11 and higher, and iOS 14 and higher. You can have up to 32 simultaneous connections via the button or the app.

Enterprise-Grade Security and Cloud Management: Why IT Teams in Bengaluru and Hyderabad Trust

Security is the first priority for enterprises, especially those in the BFSI sector or the medical sector. The CX-50 Gen2 is 100% secure with top-notch security protocols, which include-

• Cloud-managed and encrypted features.
• WPA2-PSK authentication in standalone mode
• IEEE 802.1X for network integration
• CX-50 2nd generation is now ANSSI CSPN certified—a security certification issued by the French government following independent testing by approved laboratories

IT managers in Pune’s Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park or Hyderabad’s Gachibowli are accruing the benefits of the XMS Cloud Management Platform, which includes remote monitoring, firmware updates, and analytics, all operated from a single dashboard. We have deployed CX-50 Gen2 across enterprises with 50 or more office rooms. Today, the hybrid work model has become the norm, and workers in Bengaluru, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad are splitting time between home and office.

Meeting rooms today must cater to the demand of everyone- the worker in the room, the person on the call, and the guest from a partner firm in Mumbai. The CX-50 Gen2 enhances this experience with remote participants being visible all the time. That’s how you run a modern enterprise.
